Here's my Romantic Gradient Nails with added Rhinestones to make it more dainty. I know a lot of you uses the sponge method to create Gradient nails. I know it looks better but I am just too lazy to do so! So please feel free to create the gradient nails using a sponge!
Step 1:
Apply base coat prior to nail polish application. Apply 1 Coat of The Face Shop's Polish in light Pinkish Peach shade.
Step 2:
Apply 2True polish in Shade no. 12 French tip method.
Using Caronia's Base Coat or any brand of base coat, spread the light purple shade downwards.
Using Flashing Neon Sweet Cherry nail polish in Neon Red (from sis Aika), drop a couple of dots on the tip...
Again, using the base coat, spread the polish downwards. Does not have to be perfect!
Step 4:
Using Prettynails' White Nail Art Pen, create 5 dots for flower.
Step 5:
Press in rhinestones. Your choice, I used multiple colors.
Step 6:
Top the nail art with any glittery polish. I am using gold polish to create a nice dimension. I used the Bourjois Gold polish from my blind swap with Cris.
Step 7:
Top everything with your choice of Top coat, applying more on the areas with Rhinestones to keep them from falling out.
I know! Dainty nails again! You can't blame a girl for wanting to
stay sweet :P
If you don't own any nail art pens, you can stop at Step 3 then apply glitter polish and top with a nice top coat. I'm sure it'll still be pretty!
Keep smilin'
Stay happy!
Happy Start of the Week!
stay sweet :P
